Ellen,

 

One place I know the hymn can be found is a Catholic hymn book called Gathering (I think that's the whole name.)  It has a very simple, singable, lilting tune and easy to remember.  I hope you find it.

	Dear Charles,
	Thank you for this hymn. My favorite line in the whole hymn is: LET 
	ME HOLD THE CHRIST LIGHT FOR YOU IN THE DARKNESS OF YOUR FEAR.
	In what hymnal is this? I would love to know the music. I've 
	already forwarded this to our pastor, and I can see this also being 
	used as a litany.
	In the midst of planning for our Living Legacy gathering, I too am so 
	grateful for our community.
	Love to you and Doris, Grace and Peace, Ellen
